Net Tours’ strong presence and customer base has resulted in an annual sales volume of more
than BRL 300 million (US$160 million). As a result of this acquisition, CWT Brazil strengthens its
position in the travel management market. CWT continues to be the only global travel management
company with wholly owned operations in Brazil.

“This acquisition will further consolidate CWT’s presence in Brazil. In addition to
leveraging CWT’s global network and services to benefit Net Tours’ customers, it will also
reinforce our relationships with suppliers in the region” said Andre Carvalhal, President and CEO
CWT Brazil.

“Latin America represents a real area of growth for the business travel industry, with Brazil
in particular experiencing some of the most substantial increases of any region across the main
areas of travel spend. I am delighted that Net Tours is becoming a wholly owned member of CWT and I
am keen that we continue to build our footprint in this market,” commented Håkan Ericsson,
President CWT EMEA and Latin America.

Integration of Net Tours has begun and will continue over the coming months. Throughout the
transition, CWT Brazil and Net Tours will remain focused on delivering the strong service their
customers have come to expect, while ensuring a seamless transition.
